Episode Summary by AI

Had a Zoom call with Trey to sort out client organization, future projects, and backend systems. He affirmed my work's value, saying he'd pay $5K for the system I’m building. That hit hard. Reflected on feeling fulfilled, working 11 hours straight, and being paid to build something that solves a real problem. Talked about niches, pricing tiers, productivity vs fake productivity, and how grateful I am that barely anyone listens so I can share all this freely.
